Incidentally this week I have found that my own great grandfather, Isaac Thomas (b 1853, son of James and Elizabeth Thomas) came from St Arvans! - I have never heard of that town until now, but am going to do some family research in Wales and England next April-June (that trip is tied to a 'bucket-list' canal-boating on the Llangollen Canal during two weeks of that period!).

"ST. ARVANS, a parish partly in the upper division of the hundred of Caldicott, partly in the upper division of the hundred of Ragland, in the county of Monmouth, 2 miles to the N.W. of Chepstow. It is pleasantly situated on the banks of the river Wye, which bounds the parish on the N.E., and contains the hamlet of Portcasseg. The living is a perpetual curacy in the diocese of Llandaff, value £53, in the patronage of the Duke of Beaufort. There are ruins of two chapels, which were dedicated to SS. Kingsmark and Lawrence."
